About
Ever since childhood I have wanted to tell stories through images whether factual or fictitious, to examine certain ideas and provoke reflection. I finished my Masters in cinematography for film and television graduating in September of 2016. Before that I did a film foundation course covering editing, camerawork, directing, scriptwriting and acting. Two short films that I have worked on have been selected for film festivals in America, Spain and England. Recently I was the cinematographer on a 40 minute documentary on the Syrian refugee crisis in Greece and a Nollywood Indie feature film which I shot in May and June respectively this summer. I have lived in various countries, I speak Spanish and some basic Hindi, this has given me the ability to adapt to new environments which is useful on set where problem solving is half the job. I can edit and would like to direct eventually.
